Early Praise for The New HR* Tenor Mouthpiece: "Jody's mouthpiece is the first mouthpiece I've played that's the perfect match for my 10* Hard Rubber Otto Link mouthpiece with the Rico Jazz Select Reed # 4 Hard. Great mouthpiece; you all need to buy one, now!" George Garzone, on the JodyJazz HR 9*"When Jody came out with his new Hard Rubber Series I knew I had to jump on it. It's a great tenor sax mouthpiece. It's just amazing. My previous hard rubber mouthpiece ( which was refaced by one of the best in the business) is in the drawer. Jody, you're a genius. You set a barometer for the mouthpiece world. I absolutely love my JodyJazz ESP Tenor mouthpiece but when I want that hard rubber sound and feel the HR* is perfect."Wally WestJazz Studies Faculty at the University of North Carolina-Chapel HillArtist-Endorser for YAMAHA musical instruments. "Hi, Jody. Your new pieces arrived yesterday. I tried the 8* first on my SX-90R tenor. It fit PERFECTLY on the cork -- slid easily to the two little dots, then snugged. A Rovner 2R lig fits it like a glove. From the first note, I was nodding my head so hard, it was tough to keep the piece in my mouth. My wife came rushing into the room and asked, "What's that?" It blows effortlessly from Bb to F#. The bottom end is huge times seven, and the top has no thinness whatsoever. Talk about a ballad piece!! This is exactly the sound I was looking for, yet didn't know how to describe. We live way back in the woods on WA's Olympic Peninsula, and I went out on our deck and played to the trees. Big, fat, lush tenor sound reverberating from the towering Douglas-firs and all through our valley. Wow! My wife loves the piece and insisted I write you. You are the man, Jody, and I sincerely thank you. "Peace,Bill ShoafSequim Washington "...all I have to say is WOW. It's too bad; what am I gonna' do with my other mouthpieces ? ... The Jody Jazz HR* is far more easier, and I found it also way more flexible, it has a rich thick sound. And it can whisper with a soft warm sound, and scream, and everything in the middle, I'm still amazed ! How did you achieve that ? it is sooo good ! One thing for sure, changing the reed does change the sound on your mouthpiece, but it is so reed friendly it will be difficult to find the best ones !regardsPhilippe Lafrance - Nantes, France
